Extract

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is an under recognised, often misunderstood condition that is wrongly perceived as a simple habit(s). Due to the hetrogenous nature of the symptoms, severity and effects of TS, this condition is individualised in terms of its impact on people living with TS. This paper reports five case studies of people living with TS, ranging from mild to severe diagnosis and provides an insight into some of the difficulties and successes people living with TS experience in obtaining and maintaining employment. Treatment methods, aetiology issues and implications for rehabilitation counsellors are also discussed.
